Chapter 56-1: The Mirror (I)

In the blink of an eye, it was the state banquet for the envoys after three days, King Jing emphasized on the invitation that I must go to the banquet on time, I calculated the time, changed my clothes and prepared to enter the palace. I didn't wear the crown of the court dress according to the etiquette, I only wore a plain robe, the robe is the latest sample of "Tianjinxiu", the style is simple and generous, but the material is the top ice silk woven snow brocade, the crescent moon white satin is woven with the dark pattern of magnolia flowers, as if flowing fluorescent. The hair is only curled into a simple bun with a jade-colored white magnolia hairpin at the back of the head. After being half-blind, my clothes were as simple as possible, even when I entered the palace, I didn't have that heavy clothes to press my body, and I felt extremely relaxed. Although the eyes are now healed, in order to avoid trouble, I did not make a big deal about it, but the costume is still as good as ever, so that people can see anything.

Entering the palace, the eunuch who led the way took me and Xiaohong to the outside of the imperial study, and I already felt very strange on the way, didn't I say that there was a feast? Could it be that this banquet is placed in the imperial study? This King Jing is really bold, although the emperor and the queen mother are not in the palace, but this world is not his King Jing's, he is so anxious to occupy the emperor's imperial study, Sima Zhao's heart is already known to passers-by.

Xiaohong was stopped by the palace people and waited for me in the courtyard. The eunuch made a report outside the palace, led me into the imperial study, and quietly withdrew. King Jing sat behind his desk, holding a book in his hand, and I owed slightly: "Lord Jianguo is polite." King Jing raised his eyes, saw me come in, put down the book, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ronghua doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" ”

I sat on the chair on one side, looked at the culprit who killed Yun Zheng in front of me, and pressed the hatred in my heart, with a calm face on my face, and I couldn't see a trace of abnormality: "Lord Jianguo, why is this feast canceled?" ”

"No, no, the banquet will not take place until a while." King Jing said with a smile, "This king asked his wife to enter the palace half an hour early, because there are some things he wants to discuss with his wife before the banquet." ”

I already knew that this was the purpose of King Jing's invitation to the banquet, so I just glanced at him very calmly and kept silent, since you are looking for me, I will naturally say something, why should I be in a hurry. King Jing saw that my reaction was flat, and smiled: "Madame, don't you ask this king what is going on?" ”

"The eunuchs have all found their concubines here, and if I don't ask, the adults won't say anything?" I smiled.

"Haha! Mrs. is worthy of being the head of the Yun family, calm and composed, and has the demeanor of everyone. King Jing was robbed by me like this, laughed, and was not angry, and sighed, "Recently, there have been some foul words in the market to slander Mrs., and the words are unbearable, and even this king is very angry when he hears it. Mrs. shoulders the burden of the family with her own weak body, which is bitter and ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was courteous, his tone was full of indignation against the rumor-mongers, showing sympathy for me, and there was a glint of unknown meaning in his eyes, I was already sure that he really planned to win over the Yun family. The treasury is empty, and the imperial court even has the money to quell the salt disaster in the south from the Yun family, and when there is another war in northern Xinjiang, war is the black hole that consumes the most money. Without money, what kind of war?

I became more and more sure in my heart, and I just smiled faintly on my face: "The rumors stop at the wise, the concubine behaves and sits upright, and she will not take the malicious slander of the villain to heart." ”

"That's that, Madame is so young and has become a family, the elders in the family must be a little unhappy, Madame doesn't have to take those little things to heart." King Jing smiled, his tone unpredictable. It seems that the news of my killing of Aunt Fei has spread, if King Jing is smart, he will know that if he mentions the matter of letting me marry Wu Lei, he will only touch the ashes, and he will never get half of the benefits, but he doesn't know what he can use to exchange interests with the Yun family now? What promise could he make to the Yun family? Fame and fortune? With the current status of the Yun family, it is difficult to take another step, to be honest, I am really a little curious.

I smiled and didn't speak, King Jing waited for a while, and when he saw that I didn't respond, he really couldn't hold his breath and said, "If Yun Shizi is still alive, Madam will not suffer these grievances." I still remember the first time I saw Yun Shizi and his wife, and sighed how there is such a talented and beautiful person in this world, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talent, Yun Shizi is such an amazing and brilliant character, and it is ......"

"The prince is looking for a concubine, is it just to reminisce?" I interrupted him abruptly, lowered my eyelids, and took a deep breath, but my body trembled slightly. Yun Zheng, he still has the face to mention Yun Zheng, if it weren't for him, why would Yun Zheng die young? The hands that were folded in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and the nails were so hard that they didn't feel pain.

"Alas...... This king just thinks that creation makes people, and every time I think about it, I also feel very sentimental...... "King Jing sighed, but I felt his eyes fixed on me, as if observing my reaction, and the slight tremor of my body and the change in my face naturally could not escape his eyes. King Jing said tentatively: "Madame and Yun Shizi have a deep relationship, they must miss Shizi very much, right?" ”

Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng...... I just felt that my heart was dripping blood, biting my lip tightly, I closed my eyes, calmed the throbbing pain in my heart, and said Mu Ran: "Even if you miss and feel sad, it won't help, what can you do with the concubine?" ”

King Jing sighed slightly and said, "Yes, the hateful things in life are involuntary." However...... "King Jing's eyes flickered," it may not be irremediable. ”

I was shocked, and I looked up suddenly: "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean, if Madame really misses Yun Shizi, this king may be able to help Madame relieve the pain of memory!" King Jing saw that my face had changed greatly, and there was a bit of triumph in his eyes. I looked at him fixedly, and there was a tremor in my tone: "The concubine is ignorant and doesn't understand what the Lord of the Prison State means, please make it clear?" ”

King Jing smiled slightly, picked up a brocade box from the desk, walked in front of me, and put it on the coffee table: "Madame, open it and take a look." ”

I glanced at him, opened the brocade box, and saw a round bronze mirror about a foot long with a diameter of about a foot lying on the brocade at the bottom of the box. I couldn't help but look up at King Jing with some confusion: "Lord Jianguo, this is ......"

King Jing smiled: "Madam, this mirror is called 'Too Illusory Mirror', and it was given to this king by an immortal chief many years ago. This mirror is not a mortal thing, if you activate it with your own blood, you will be able to see the person you care about in the mirror. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and my hand involuntarily touched the mirror, a little incredulous: "Really? ”

"This king will never speak, if the lady doesn't believe it, you might as well give it a try." King Jing picked up a knife from the desk and handed it to me, "Madame can take a drop of blood from your fingertips and drop it on the mirror, and you can know the truth of what this king said." ”

I took it slowly, and turned my eyes to look at the bronze mirror lying in the brocade box, this mirror, really so magical, can let me see the person I want to see the most? Gritting his teeth, he made a small cut on his left index finger without hesitation. The red blood beads immediately gushed out, I sent my fingers to the mirror, the blood beads dripped from my fingers to the mirror, "horn" sounded, made a low sound, the blood stained the mirror, as if dripping into the soil, and after a while, it silently seeped into the mirror, no longer traced. The mirror surface suddenly rippled like a stone thrown into the water, rippling layer by layer, with the expansion of the ripples, the golden copper-colored mirror disappeared, a void within the frame, separated by a layer of ethereal white fog, and when the white fog faded, an elegant figure appeared in the white mist, his face with a gentle smile in my memory, softly said: "Ye'er......"
